Özet
Background and aimAcute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with fatal and non-fatal ventricular arrhythmic events (VAE). Although primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) is first-line treatment in STEMI, fibrinolytic therapy (FT) is still widely used in many countries. Tp-Te interval; Tp-Te/QT ratio and QT dispersion (QTd) are novel markers of ventricular repolarization (VR) and associate with VAE and mortality. Hereby, we assessed Tp-Te, QTd and Tp-Te/QT in acute STEMI patients undergoing FT and analyzed their relationship with post-FT VAE, and arrhythmic and overall deaths.MethodsA total of 207 consecutive STEMI patients treated with FT were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided in Group 1 (non-VAE group) and Group 2 (VAE group). ECG, clinical and demographic data were noted. Relationship between the pre-FT electrocardiographic parameters of VR and post-FT VAE …
